Bhopal’s administration has swung into action as escalating tensions between the US, Israel, and Iran cast a shadow over the Gulf region. With thousands of Madhya Pradesh residents working, studying, or vacationing in countries like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, the state government has established a dedicated control room in New Delhi’s Madhya Pradesh Bhawan to provide round-the-clock assistance.
The initiative comes at a critical time, with reports of Madhya Pradesh citizens facing uncertainties due to the brewing conflict. Many have already returned from Dubai, but others remain stuck, prompting urgent calls for help. To address this, the government has released a helpline number (011-26772005), WhatsApp contact (9818963273), and an email address for seamless communication.
This control room, operational 24/7, will offer comprehensive support including evacuation guidance, travel arrangements, and safety updates. Officials emphasize that no stone will be left unturned to ensure the safe return and well-being of every Madhya Pradesh native in the region.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister’s office highlighted the large expatriate community in the Gulf, underscoring the need for such a proactive measure. As diplomatic tensions rise, this helpline serves as a lifeline, connecting families back home with their loved ones abroad. The government’s swift response has been praised, setting a model for other states with similar demographics.
In the coming days, the control room will coordinate with Indian embassies and airlines to facilitate repatriation flights if needed. Citizens are urged to stay calm, register with the helpline, and follow official advisories for their safety.
